Performing Artist Testimonials

“James, I just signed the record deal you got for me. Everytime people ask me how I got hooked up with the label I tell them about you! When I first met my lawyer, he asked that and said he knew you and respected your taste in artists....so I think you helped me land my lawyer as well! So again, I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me...you have no idea how much I appreciate it all. I mean, if it weren't for you I'd probably still be selling beer in a country bar! Thanks again, Bonnie”

“James. I would like to say thanks for everything! When we first started working with Countdown Entertainment, I looked at it as an opportunity to FINALLY get our music heard by key decision makers. And that opportunity has finally happened!! We've been offered to have our music placed in tv and film, through Multimediary Entertainment. Thanks again James, and we look forward to working with you in the future!!!!”

“When we first started working with Countdown Entertainment, I was skeptical. James Citkovic had assured me there were many people looking for music out there, that I had yet to find. Then after about a month of sending out my band’s CDs, we received our first publishing offer. Now were about to sign a contract to have our music used in feature films. I had been sending out presskits week after week and never even received a response. Countdown gave me the leads that were suited for my band’s style and that were looking for a band just like us. All thanks to James Citkovic and Countdown Entertainment.”

“When I was contacted by James Citkovic/Countdown Entertainment I wasn't skeptical about how he/they could help me, but everyone else was... From day one, James has helped me more than anyone else. Any questions, any doubts, any decisions that need to be made James gives 100%, 100% of the time. As it is, I have received 2 contracts for publishing deals as well as interest from a promoter. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Countdown Entertainment to help you get where you want to go. I don't think I'd be in the position I am now without him. Thank you James.”

“Hey James, NBC just picked my "Summer Feeling" song up for their new show "Windfall" starring Luke Perry which airs in May, Josh Z landed the deal for me $$$ and of course I wouldn't have met him if it weren't for your Hire A Consultant service so thanks again for everything James, you saved my life!”

“I would like to say, that in these weeks I have learned a tremendous amount and I have grown substantially as an artist. And all this put together has helped me to shape the direction I will pursue to succeed in my songwriting and performing. For your influence, I thank you.”

“I have had the opportunity and great luck to be assisted by Mr. James Citkovic of "Hire a Consultant". Mr. Citkovic's positive and inspiring attitude is really motivating. He's honest, respectful, and highly professional; and as such he has the tools required for developing and promoting serious artists. Had it not been for his help and guidance, I would not have been able to get in touch with the right people. In addition, I have gained invaluable insight of the music business and inner workings from his vast knowlege and experience.”

“Hire A Consultant provided me with numerous relevant leads and within two months helped me place one of my songs in an indie film, and another song in a TV/Film Licensing company”

“I must give James Citkovic of Countdown Entertainment credit for his Hire A Consultant program. After just a week of sending out about 25 packages to contacts provided by Hire A Consultant, I received a call from an entertainment company in the UK. A few days later, I received another call from a publisher in Atlanta. James Citkovic kept his word by giving us only contacts that cater to our style of music. To the skeptics out there, all I can say is try this service for a couple months. If you believe in your music, then believe that others will too. James gives you a chance. Thanks Mr. Citkovic”

“Since working with Hire A Consultant, I have immediately seen results as far as all of the leads the firm has provided. In fact, I've received so many leads in such a short period of time that I'm having trouble keeping up with all of them. It only took 2-3 weeks until I was offered a deal on my band's behalf. [Citkovic has] always been courteous, respectful and mindful of our needs. In this business that is hard to come by. I would recommend ANY artist, band, composer, songwriter, etc., to enlist the services of Hire A Consultant. YOU WILL SEE RESULTS.”

“Hire A Consultant is truly one of the greatest services to independent artists ever! They provide detailed information, pitching and face-to-face networking with key decision-makers in the business. Honestly, you couldn't get information like this by any other source even if you paid them. Trust me, by Hiring a Consultant you eliminate the risk of your material being trashed, your letters piling up on someone’s desk and, frankly, artists simply not being heard. Now you must ask yourself, where do I really want to be in five years? Hire a Consultant and find out!”

“I signed on for only a month and got several leads for various projects and was offered a deal after a few weeks of sending my packages out. I'd get so many leads that were targeted to my particular genre of music.”

“Hire A Consultant provided me with numerous relevant leads and within two months helped me place one of my songs in an indie film, and another song in a TV/Film Licensing company.”

“Hey James, CBS just picked my "Summer Feeling" song up for their new show "Windfall" starring Luke Perry which airs in May, Josh Z landed the deal for me $$$ and of course I wouldn't have met him if it weren't for your Hire A Consultant service so thanks again for everything James, you saved my life!”

“James, Beside those 18 I sent already, the next day I sent out 25 more, and I just receive an offer. They wanna use my instrumental song "Hands" for the TV episodic and as he told me they want to pay me 1000$ to use my song in the series about extreme sports. I keep all the exclusive rights etc. I'll call you to discuss, but thank you.”

“James, Thank you for the Deal for my music and the services that you have provided. The leads that you exposed us to were phenomenal. The access that you gave M.I.H. to real decision makers is priceless. Its people like you that help aspiring artist and business minded people in this industry, achieve their dreams. I would suggest anyone to take advantage of your service.”

Songwriter Testimonials

“As a songwriter based in Liverpool UK, I first came into contact with James Citkovic and Hire A Consultant thru a magazine, and have found their service and staff more than helpful and accommodating. Through their leads I have gained strong interest in my songs and made valuable contacts, these are the type of things I couldn't have done by myself. I would strongly recommend this service to anyone who is serious about their future in the music industry. Yours faithfully, Kenny O'Connell”

“The leads supplied to me by James Citkovic of Countdown Entertainment have led to me being offered a publishing contract for three of my songs. I have always found him to be very polite, helpful and supportive in my efforts. Hire A Consultant certainly has the contacts and experience to help any aspiring artists like myself. So my first break into the Business is thanks to James and his team at Countdown Entertainment”

“I must say James that after being in this business for many years, I am skeptical most of time. But you delivered! I really appreciate all your effort toward helping me get my foot in the door and would certainly recommend any serious artist make the investment toward your services. Thanks for everything, James Smith”

Music Manager Testimonials

“I knew Hire A Consultant would be a good connection for us, and after the first telephone conversation I had with James Citkovic I decided to move forward in doing business with them. We overnighted our package to one of the first leads we received, and the next day we received an email from them telling us that out of all the hiphop songs they received ours was the only one they wanted to place in their film due to come out soon. This was just after 12 days with Hire A Consultant! I can't say enough about the service and the quality of leads we've received from Hire A Consultant. We are very, very satisfied!”

“Thanks for all your help... It was nice to be able to get advice and not just leads and we appreciate very much all the time you spent helping us. We are pleased to say that one of your leads has lead to our collaboration with highly acclaimed world famous guitarist. Our first album has recently been completed, and is being toured in Europe and South America Spring & Summer. Also one of your contacts who previously turned us down because our music didn't fit their remit, has recently contacted us again and asked us if we had anything new as they were impressed with our presentation. They have now listened to our new material and are offering a music publishing deal and to release one album in the USA. We would recommend to anybody the use of your services. Thanks again for all your help and advice.”

Music Producer, Production Company, and Independent Record Company Testimonials

“Spot on james - thanks again - just to update you: We have secured one publising deal with SMD Music Group in UK; We have another negotiation going on at the moment with another Publisher (trying to discuss advances); We also heard back from Sean Pauls Management team that one of our songs has been selected for his listening - we will hear back soon from them; Also an Indy Label with Major distribution with Universal - wants 3 of our songs (we are in talks with them at the moment), Thanks James - so far(LOL:-)”

“Hey James, Great News!!! We got another deal! Mars Productions out of Los Angeles is releasing a motion picture with distribution through Sony Pictures entitled "Danny B", slated to come out this year. According to the lead you supplied, they wanted a rap song that went along with the plot of the movie. They loved the song that we did so much that they said that they want to arrange for us to fly over to L.A. and record a second track for the soundtrack. We will be speaking to them within the next day or so to talk some more about everything. Of course, we had to let you know and thank you once again because your services have helped us secure a second deal.”

“Although the premise of your services is quite sound, I had no idea that it would work so fast! In the three weeks that I've used your services I've gotten an abundance of contacts, sent out many packages and have actually received a legitimate music-licensing offer! I will recommend you and your services as a bright alternative to the uncertain and expensive contemporary music-shopping scene. Thanks for everything and please keep up the good work!”

TV/FILM Composer Testimonials

“James - Good news! Of the several very attractive leads you sent to me, I have been offered a Sound Track Deal. I will let you know the details after I receive their contract. Thank you so much. BTW, I'm trying to catch up on mailing out more packs--I mailed to 8 leads yesterday. Thanks again!”

“I think the leads you are sending are great, and I feel I’ve sent good demos packages along... I’m glad to hear that people contacted you.”

“My association with the Hire A Consultant firm has been brief but productive. As a result of the leads the company has provided, I have a greater distribution of my recordings and have even signed with an international licensing company for the distribution of my musical compositions. If it weren't for Mr. Citkovic, I would not have global exposure.”
